Summary: Introducing the Master
Comment: The Doctor is horrified by two things: firstly, that a Nestene energy unit was loaned to the National Science Museum has been stolen, and that his new assistant lacks any scientific background. He takes up both issues with the Brigadier.

As if the threat of the return of the Autons is not enough, the Doctor is warned by the Time Lords that they are in league with another renegade Time Lord, the Master...

Doctor Who's eighth season introduced a new opponent: the Master, another Time Lord, who featured in every story of the season and has been a regular ever since. The first story also introduced a new companion for the Doctor, Jo Grant, fleshed out the ranks of UNIT with the addition of Captain Mike Yates, and saw the return of the Autons from the previous season.

The story works better as a TV serial than a novel, but it is still a good adaptation by Terrance Dicks. The illustrations aren't too good, with limited resemblance to the regulars and the other characters looking nothing like the actors who played them on TV.

(For those who want to know more about the Master: try to get a copy of 'The Dark Path', which was written to reveal what it was that made an old friend of the Doctor become so evil.)
